## FAQ

### How long does it take to swap BCH to AVAX on GhostSwap?

Most BCH to AVAX swaps are paid out within 20–60 minutes: the BCH deposit needs about 10–20 minutes to confirm on Bitcoin Cash, then the AVAX is sent to your wallet, and Avalanche X-Chain confirms the payout in a few seconds. Busy networks can add a few minutes.

### How much is 1 BCH in AVAX?

1 BCH is worth about 27.5779 AVAX at the market rate, before fees (market prices, 8 Oct 2026). GhostSwap's quote in the exchange box already includes the service fee and the AVAX network fee. The rate floats with the market until your BCH deposit confirms, so the exchange box shows the exact amount before you send.

### Do I need KYC or an account to exchange BCH to AVAX?

No. GhostSwap has no accounts: you paste the Avalanche X-Chain address that should receive the AVAX, send BCH from your own wallet, and the AVAX goes straight to that address. No email, phone number or ID upload.

### What are the fees for converting Bitcoin Cash to Avalanche?

The GhostSwap fee is already included in the rate in the exchange box, so the AVAX amount you see is what you receive. On top of that, the Bitcoin Cash network fee for your deposit is paid in BCH by your wallet.

### What wallet should I use to receive AVAX?

To receive Avalanche from your swap, we recommend using Core (copy its X-Chain address). For AVAX in MetaMask or another 0x wallet, pick AVAX C-Chain instead. Make sure your wallet supports the Avalanche X-Chain network before starting the exchange. Double-check your AVAX address before confirming, cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed.

### What format is the AVAX address?

Use an Avalanche X-Chain address: it starts with X-avax1 (an X-Chain address; 0x C-Chain addresses are not accepted). Copy it from your wallet and paste it; never type it by hand.

### Can I track my BCH to AVAX swap?

Yes. After initiating your swap, GhostSwap provides a transaction status page where you can monitor progress in real-time. You can also track your BCH payment on Blockchair (https://blockchair.com/bitcoin-cash) and your incoming AVAX on Avascan (https://avascan.info).

### Is it safe to exchange BCH for AVAX on GhostSwap?

GhostSwap is non-custodial: there is no account balance holding your coins. Your BCH deposit is converted and the AVAX is sent straight to the Avalanche X-Chain address you enter, so check that address twice, Avalanche X-Chain transfers cannot be reversed.

### How does a cross-chain BCH to AVAX swap work?

Bitcoin Cash lives on Bitcoin Cash and Avalanche on Avalanche X-Chain, two separate blockchains. Instead of a bridge, GhostSwap takes your BCH on Bitcoin Cash and pays native AVAX on Avalanche X-Chain, so you never hold a wrapped token or pay bridge fees.

### What happens if my BCH to AVAX exchange fails?

If a swap cannot be completed, the BCH is refunded to the Bitcoin Cash address you entered as the sender address. If something looks stuck, contact support with your swap ID from the status page. Most problems come from sending a different amount than shown or using an address on the wrong network.
